In this era of Complexity, I seek to explore the emergent properties of complex systems and their interconnectedness. From climate change to global misinformation, our collective inability to manage these systems results in many systemic crises.

I employ various mathematical and computational methods, coupled with experiments and observations, and delve into the intricacies of systems involving humans, resources, and governing institutions. I aim to utilize this knowledge to address some of society's most pressing problems.

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Amsterdam, working at the Computational Science Lab at the Informatics Institute (IvI), collaborating with a great local team and many great fellows worldwide. I co-lead the POLDER initiative at the Institute of Advanced Studies and coordinate the development of a new Master’s program in ‘Complex Systems and Policy’ at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies.

Previously, I was a Visiting Research Scholar at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment and the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, at Princeton University, where I also did two postdocs after my PhD. I finished my PhD in Sciences at the University of Minho, Portugal, in 2017.
